Usage

Arguments

Line segment pattern (object of class "psp")
on which the points should lie.

nsim

Number of simulated realisations to be generated.

drop

Logical. If nsim=1 and drop=TRUE (the default), the
result will be a point pattern, rather than a list
containing a point pattern.

Details

This command generates a point pattern consisting of n
independent random points, each point uniformly distributed on
the line segment pattern. This means that, for each random point,

the
probability of falling on a particular segment is proportional to the
length of the segment; and

given that the point falls on a particular segment,
it has uniform probability density along that segment.

If n is a single integer, the result is an unmarked point
pattern containing n points.
If n is a vector of integers, the result is a marked point
pattern, with m different types of points, where
m = length(n),
in which there are n[j] points of type j.

Value

If nsim = 1,
a point pattern (object of class "ppp") with the same
window as L.
If nsim > 1, a list of point patterns.
